Take women by themselves. away from the

them concerning themselves. They are per-
fectly frank with each other concerning
their figures and features, and assist each
other with admirable good humor 1t is
quite different with men. For three years
have been in the hat business, and in that
time have seen more genuine vanity than in
all my life before. Nine men out of ten are
either vain or Indifferent. The average
man doesn't know what he wants, and
While you are showing him goods he changes
his mind half dozen times. 1t is no I'M
common thing in my store for customer
to stand forty times before the mirror. each
time with hat on his head. Sometimes
he will take three or four looks at one hat
during the course of his search. In the
matter OF extravaganza, too, the women are
not the only offenders. Men will pay IS to
S12 for silk hats, or S. to 81 for round
crowned hats made by well known manu-
facturer, whose name is supposed to lead
the local world of hat fashions, when they
know very well that articles of Identical
merit in every particular can be purchased
at saving OF from So to SIS elsewhere
They do this simply because they are vain
enough to wish to be able to say. on oc-
casion, that their hat is from so and so, the
fashionable. | know men whose incomes
do not exceed $50 a month who expend in
year not less than $40 for hats. Few
women spend larger sums

Nothing much simpler than some of the
new French spring costumes in camers
hair. silk etamine or cashmere could be de-
ySed. and yet, there is nothing more essen
TALLY Partisan, to their mnutest details.
than these very gowns. Most dressmakers
can produce a complicated toilet laden
with garnitures of various kinds and sorts,
but few, and only those most practlced and
gifted, can capably design dress that
shall be at once simple, yet irreproachable
in its effect.
A walking costume much in voge has the
skirt draped on the left side only, where it
remains open over all underskirt. Large
buttons are placed on one side, and button
holes to correspond on the other, so that tile
skirt appears to have been left unbuttoned.
A superior quality of foulard called Sag.
alien comes in all shades OF violet. dark
blue and gay. Striped and checked mer-
velleuX in changeabe shades and embrold-
cred rhadameS are combined with plain
goods. There Is also lovely assortment
in stamped foulards.
Lawns. percae and coutille or Jean as
thick almost as pique, are the cotton fabrics
most used by French dressmakers.
Dresses in general are becoming more and
more Intricate in their composition, even
those comparatively simple in appearance
